All members of OB are invited to vote in the Awesome Blossom poll...only the people on the above list may vote in the other three polls listed.


Awesome Blossom

Our main project is to choose the best photo (no theme necessary) of the project plant as decided by any and all OB members (not just project participants), like we do for the calendar contest.

The winner of this contest will receive a special gift package from New World Orchids!!


Voting in the poll will be open until 8pm EST on Sunday Aug 10, 2008

ALL members, whether participating in the project or not, are invited to join us in this one!

The photos are identified only by a large blue number at the top left corner of each photo. That number will correspond with a choice in the poll...choose your favorite

Of course, you may not vote for your own photo

Good luck to everybody!

Sue!! You are a super star!!

You are simply too good to us... and you were SO RIGHT - what awesome photos everyone has come up with.. its taken me all morning to try to decide between them (and there is still one contest that I can't whittle the list down to less than three!)


Thanks to everyone who has made this project so fantastic!

I knew you'd love them! I've been lucky enough to be staring at them for days now

What a talented group of friends we have here!


I'm having more fun doing this...only I and the owner of each photo know who the pics belong to

...and the owner of #28 will be thrilled to see theirs in the lead so far


By the way, let's try to avoid giving any clues or hints about our photos...leave it as a total surprise ending to the polls.

Agreed?

I keep coming back to oogle all the awesome photos!

They're all so terrific and sooooo inspirational!

Hush hush. . .no hints. . .about the to-remain-secret, photographer's identities!

I will post comments on the photos in the gallery though... they are just too great to not make comments!

As long as we try to keep pic/owner identities anonymous, anybody can make comments.

These pictures deserve some recognition

OK. So, owners of the pics.... don't respond to comments until the polls are closed!

Very difficult chosing!
All the photos are superb and each deserve their own award
